"Reliable backup and fast recovery with simple management"
What do you like best about Rubrik?

Rubrik has a straightforward interface and is easier to manage than many traditional backup tools. Deployment is quick, and most of the configuration is policy-based, which helps cut down on manual effort. Backup jobs, restores, and monitoring are easy to find and understand in the dashboard. Recovery is also fast, especially for virtual machines, and the platform integrates smoothly with environments such as VMware and Microsoft 365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rubrik?

Licensing and overall costs can be high compared to other solutions, especially in smaller environments. Some advanced configuration options also feel less flexible because the platform is strongly policy-driven. Reporting and customization could be more detailed as well, without having to rely on external tools or APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unified Cybersecurity Platform with Room for More Features"
What do you like best about Rubrik?

I appreciate Rubrik for being a good platform for cybersecurity, backup, and rapid recovery. It is quite beneficial as it provides most of the tools I want all under one umbrella, offering a unified cyber experience without worrying about cloud backup, security, and recovery. The database backup and VM backup are features I particularly like and find them to be on a nice, top level. Rubrik delivers simplicity and efficiency, being cloud-based allows for accessible and portable data management. It also has security features that make the database backup particularly appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rubrik?

I didn't see anything much that much. Like, they can expand their wing more, like, providing more extra features. What they're currently doing. And they can provide more, more features. I guess. More analytics as well. That would expand the horizon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust Security with Seamless Backup Automation"
What do you like best about Rubrik?

I like the absolute peace of mind that comes from Rubrik's zero trust data security approach. The native immutability of the backups is a feature that stands out because it ensures that once data is written, it cannot be modified or deleted by an external threat. I love the intuitive user interface, which is a refreshing change from the overly complex dashboards of legacy backup tools. The policy-based SLA engine that automates everything from backup frequency to data retention is fantastic and saves me a lot of time, ensuring we never miss a backup window. The speed of the live mount feature is quite impressive as it allows us to power up a virtual machine from the backup storage almost instantly, a lifesaver when quick recovery is needed. The automated discovery of new workloads is also a huge relief as it prevents any gaps in protection. Additionally, the API-first design is very powerful, allowing for seamless integration into existing automation scripts and security workflows, making Rubrik one of the most reliable parts of our infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rubrik?

While Rubrik is a very strong platform, there are a few areas that could be improved. The cost is definitely on the higher end, especially for smaller organizations or when you need to scale up quickly. It can feel like a significant investment compared to more traditional or open source backup solutions. I would love to see more flexible pricing models that cater better to mid sized teams who might not need every single enterprise feature right away. In terms of the software itself, the reporting and analytics features could be a bit more robust and customizable. While the dashboard gives a great high level overview, sometimes when I need to dig into very specific data trends or generate a highly tailored report for an audit, the current tools feel a little limited. I have also noticed that the initial configuration for some more niche or legacy applications can be a bit tricky and might require more manual effort than the seamless experience you get with modern virtualized workloads. Improving the depth of out of the box support for those older systems would make the platform even more versatile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust Ransomware Defense with Easy Setup"
What do you like best about Rubrik?

I find Rubrik to be a solid performer for cloud and on-prem backups, and it's simple enough to implement. Its management, especially with Rubrik Security Cloud, is straightforward once learned. I really like Rubrik's ransomware defense because it lets us set a baseline and comes with a warranty that instills confidence. Additionally, its strong backup capabilities are crucial for us in preventing ransomware attacks. I also appreciate that the setup was generally quick, with only some delay for settings to appear in the cloud management console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rubrik?

Cost is a bit difficult to get under control. There are some issues with reporting that we don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the most is how simple it makes the whole backup and recovery process. The platform is very clear, tasks are set up quickly, and it allows you to see the status of all backups in a very transparent way. I also greatly appreciate that the restorations are fast and that it has integrated ransomware protection features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rubrik?

Some advanced features may feel a bit technical if you don't have prior experience in backup management. Additionally, the cost can be high for small or medium-sized businesses, especially if a more comprehensive deployment is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
